Learning to Select Useful

چکیده
To navigate eeectively, an autonomous agent must be able to quickly and accurately determine its current location. Given an initial estimate of its position (perhaps based on dead-reckoning) and an image taken of a known environment, our agent rst attempts to locate a set of landmarks (real-world objects at known locations), then uses their angular separation to obtain an improved estimate of its current position. Unfortunately, some landmarks may not be visible, or worse, may be confused with other landmarks, resulting in both time wasted in searching for undetected landmarks, and in further errors in the agent's estimate of its position. To address these problems, we propose a method that uses previous experiences to learn a selection function that, given the set of landmarks that might be visible, returns the subset that can be used to reliably provide an accurate registration of the agent's position. We use statistical techniques to prove that the learned selection function is, with high probability, eeectively at a local optimum in the space of such functions. This report also presents empirical evidence, using real-world data, that demonstrate the eeectiveness of our approach.

The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System (MTS) is a relatively new collection of methods proposed for diagnosis and forecasting using multivariate data. It consists of two main parts: Part 1, the selection of useful variables in order to reduce the complexity of multi-dimensional systems and part 2, diagnosis and prediction, which are used to predict the abnormal group according to the remaining us...

Prevention of malignant disease such as cancer is obviously much more important than therapy, so primary prevention tactics should be invoked with the greatest possible effort. Because delaying a disease such as cancer is somehow equivalent to cure and it is now generally accepted that cancer can be managed through chemopreventive interventions. Since a considerable number of known cancer chemo...

متن کاملActive Learning for Dependency Parsing Using Partially Annotated Sentences
Current successful probabilistic parsers require large treebanks which are difficult, time consuming, and expensive to produce. Some parts of these data do not contain any useful information for training a parser. Active learning strategies allow to select the most informative samples for annotation. Most existing active learning strategies for parsing rely on selecting uncertain sentences for ...
